Consolidation of Internal Revenue
Districts.

WAsHINGToN, May 21. The
President issued an order to-day
changing and consolidating the num-
Der of internal revenue districts
throughout the country. Districts
distributed in the Southern States
are affacted by this order in the fol-
lowing manner: The district of Mis-
sissippi is consolidated with the dis
trict of Louisiana. The three pres
ent districts of North Carolina are
rearranged and divided into two dis
tricts, to be known as the fourth and
fifth districts of North Carolina. The
fourth district of Virginia is consol-
idated with the sixth district of Vir-
ginia. Under this order of re-organ-
ization the following districts will be
) abolished and the collectors thereof
: relieved from service: District of
. Nevada, district Of Rhode Island,
+, second district Of Illinois, fourth dis
: trict of Illinois, eleventh district of
/ Indiana, fourth district Of Iowa, dis
n trict Of Delaware, tenth district of
= Massachusetts, distrietoE' Mississippi,
:. fourth district Of Missouri, district
d of Maine, district Of Vermont, third
a district of New Jersey, fifteenth dis
|, trict Of New York, sixth district of
e North Carolina, sixth district of
4 Ohio, nineteenth district of Pennsyl-
r, vania, twenty-second district of
n Pennsylvania, first district Of Texas,
le fourth districtof Virginia, third dis
$ trict of Wisconsin, sixth diitrict Of
r Wisconsin. In all twenty-five dis
$ tricts. Commissioner Miller says
te that the new arrangement Of districts
b, will not in any manner interfere
le with the convenience OF the tax
N payers, and Will save the Govern
Of ment more than 100000 annually.
Of 1t is said to be the intention to re-
le quire such collectors as are now oc-
q cupying rented Offices to remove to
r. Government buildings in all cases
of where it IS practicable; and it is also
ct probable that other changes will be
n made which will insure sill greater
ch economy and efficiency in the man
| agement Of this branch of the Gov
ld ernment service. The order of con-
rs solidation was carefully considered,
~ and was agreed upon by the Presi-
a dent, the Secretary of the Treasury
ne and the Commissioner of Internal
e, Revenue.

All progressive business men have

which it is published. fla city as

the outside world that it has the
business to back its aspirations. 1t

otherwise be done so directly, so eff

the community.

wild beast had taken an immense bite,
biting evenly through from top to

pice, which is almost perpendicular
all round the semi-circular cauldron

my estimation. The view before
us is also enchanting, though the
frightful depths near at hand pre-
vented ne somewhat from enjoying it
quite leisurely. Beginning from the
south and going round by the east to
the north, we beheld in succession
like ali army Of soldiers marched up
for inspection, the Mulatto noun
tain, the Buck, the Paddy mount, then
the old Niger mountain, the Phoenix
mountain, and at last the Whitetop
nrountain at the corner of Virginia
in the far distance to the north.

mountain can be seen from here to
the east, though we could not make
it out. We had rare sight from
here: a large bird, evidently a very
large one, was seen by us floating in
the west, about at the same height as
we were, right over the valley separ-
ating Us from the Paddy mountain.

inside Of his wings, and perceived
that they looked a reddish white.
Now he assembled higher, much
higher, then sank again, and all the
while kept sailing with hardly any
waving Of wings, right round the
end of the mountain on which we
were standing, at last disappearing
among the woods beyond the valley
which stretched to our other side on
the east. This whole flight, which
must have amounted to four miles at
least, occupied not more than as
many minutes. From the descrip-
ton which we gave we were assured
that what we had seen must have
been bald eagle; they occur here,
but are rare.

of the mountain to the noted McIver
Spring, where literally a whole creek
comes gushing forth from a rock ba-
sin, the water as cool as ice, so that
one could not long hold ones hand

town is the birthplace Of Daniel
Boone, of Kentucky fame. His
name is still to be seen chiseled on a
rock by his own hands, in the yard
of the old homestead. Spending a
night at the dilapidated old town Of
Rockford, we stabbed our horse in

right, that this honor belongs TO the

Mrs. Vivian had left Miss Pris-
ella in charge of the tea, which was
to be taken early, as the travellers
were supposed to be hungry; and
they did indeed seem to do ample
justice to the elegant and bountiful
repast which had been provided.
After the supper came in ice-cream
and sherbet, with champagne and
homemade wine for the gentlemen.

gorgeous array of rare exotics, and
flowers Of every hue, and the de-
lightful odors from flowers Of rich
